\u201cNASA received a debris notification for the space station,\u201d the space agency announced shortly after midnight on Tuesday. \u201cDue to the lack of opportunity to properly assess the risk it could pose to the astronauts, teams have decided to delay the Nov. 30 spacewalk until more information is available.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASA notified its astronauts about the delay via email, the New York Times<\/em> reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry for the news,\u201d a NASA official in Houston replied to Mr. Vande Hei over the ground-to-space channel. \u201cWe\u2019re probably almost as disappointed as the crew members today, but I know it\u2019s a little bit harder for you guys waking up to this news.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just real life, this is how things work out sometimes, and I\u2019m really glad people are looking out for our safety,\u201d Mr. Vande Hei said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The space agency now plans to conduct the spacewalk outside of the ISS with a 48 hour delay:<\/p>\n
